I attended another drift event. Lock City Drift: NightStage. It's a parking lot event at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, but the owners of the facility let a few people out on the big track for testing. The hope is to run the road course for events next year. Very fun section of the track, a little scary at first throwing the car around at speed with walls and little run off, but everything went well.

Drifting is definitely a good time, and I've learned a lot of car control from it, which translates quite well to "grip" driving on the track.

Oil cooler install at my buddies house. Bought the Track Speed Engineering kit, 25 row.
Attachment 233636 His VanDiemen formula continental getting an oil change and a full inspection before the weekend track day. Attachment 233637 Setup the polish bridgeport to drill and tap the mocal sandwich plate for the oil temp sensor. Attachment 233638 Marked and ready Attachment 233639 Attachment 233640 Attachment 233641 Tapping was neat. Had to cut the tap to get to the end of the taper. Attachment 233642 Decent, and the sensor has some clearance. Attachment 233643 Attachment 233644 In Attachment 233645 Attachment 233646 Attachment 233647 Attachment 233648 Attachment 233649 |

Another track day in the books. @4:00 bmw stuffed in the wall. @5:57 S2000 can't handle the Miata pressure, got him driving his mirrors lol. Oil temps were great, but now it's time for a better radiator. Top consideration is the TrackSpeed rad. |

Serious question. How come pro drifters always have smoke just billowing out. But when I go to the local wall tap fest there is just a little blue haze coming from behind the cars.

Just read this entire thread. It's awesome. Watching your in car video's is mesmerizing.
Watched the video you just posted as well. I cracked up so hard at the spacers in the chicken coop. Same for the tire belly flop lol. Keep posting fellow masshole! Side note: did the guy that sold you the motor with the busted head ever hit you back? I think I've seen him post on this site too. |
